"I doubt you or other hosts can accomplish those stated goals without having most of the member participants actively engaged in the same."

Certainly, it would be infinitly easier if everyone felt the same... In fact, there would probably be no reason for hosts if it were the case.

"I don't know why you would want to try."

I simply love a challenge

"The more the merrier, if you ask me, when the subject is getting people to take responsibility for making a community a better place. Who better than all the members? Isn't that a core progressive value?"

Agreed. I do though, feel the need to look at it as it is... This has traditionally been a wicked contentious Group and participants on both sides have not tried... even a little bit... To live up that. I don't think that makes anyone any less of a progressive on either side, I just think it was the nature of how this Group went at DU2 when it was 9/11. So... There are Hosts who are here to at least try and move the Group in that direction. I would encourage you to become one if Lithos is still taking more on.
